Understanding Interviewer Calendar Invites in Guide

Understand how calendar invites are generated and customized for interviewers in Guide

Updated today

📬 How Interviewer Invites Are Sent

When an interview is confirmed, Guide automatically creates an event on the interviewer’s calendar and sends them their invite via email.


These invites:

  • Are created on the interviewer’s own calendar (unless you select a different default calendar)

  • Include a calendar title, location/video link, and participant details and a link to any relevant ATS details

  • RSVP statuses are tracked within Guide and on the calendar event itself.

To preview an interviewer's invite:


✏️ Editing Interviewer Calendar Templates

Calendar event templates can be edited directly during the send step:

  1. In the Review + Send screen, click the event title or body preview

  2. Edit the template using available tokens (e.g. {{candidate.first_name}}, {{interview.stage}})

  3. Save changes — Guide will remember your latest version for next time

  4. Pro-tip: you can select a Guide or Greenhouse interview confirmation template to populate the custom instructions field

Custom instructions will be included in the calendar invite and dfescription above the auto-populated interview information.


🧠 Tips

  • Tokens can pull in details like recruiter names, candidate prep links, or interview stage

  • Using templates from Greenhouse or Guide for custom instructions: these templates are separate from email templates (they apply to calendar events only)
